A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.
Hudson Valley here, still no power. Currently posting from a coffee shop because we were so damn bored at our house. What did people do before the interwebs, "read"?
What I want to know is who thought it was a good idea to sail the HMS Bounty out when a hurricane was right nearby with a crew of only 16 on a ship which originally was supposed to have over 100.
I'm posting late, but for a ship like that it's much safer out at sea than stuck in near the coast, where it'd be destroyed for sure. You want to be able to keep maneuvering and sail with the storm winds coming from behind, riding the waves instead of them hitting from the side and breaking the ship.
It's being debated up and down in sailing news/blogs why they were out there; especially off of Hatteras which is also known as the "graveyard of the Atlantic." They could have sailed the boat up river and rode it out there, but it sounds as if the boat had a schedule to keep and that might be why they decided to try and skirt one of the biggest storms ever. Apparently they had been given advice to go straight east, but decided against it. Normally they could have just hove to out in deep water and rode it out, but the generators died, killing the pumps, and with the ship taking something like 2 feet of water on a minute, that was basically the end. Been a lot of tragic sailing deaths/accidents this year. Why anyone would try to thread a square rigger ship between a massive hurricane and the shoals off of the cape is a question I'd like answered, but sadly the captain is probably lost at sea.
Still no power here gonna ve out for days. Fron what I hear the biggest damage is going to be to mass transit. Entire stations flioded with salt water and shit

At least your man pelt keeps you warm, how is the lady managing, she sizing you up for a Tauntan sleeping bag?
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
I guess if you have to have flooding it's nice to happen to a city where everything is a couple of floors anyway?
But man, that's just craaazy amounts of damage. Billions and billions of dollars.

Mayor Booker's twitter reports zero looting and lots of acts of kindness fromp people in Newark.
This is partly due to Corey Booker being the goddamn Batman.
Rachel was showing his twitter feed from yesterday and he basically was. If only he didn't fuck up and openly suck PE cock this election season he could have been a contender.

We (Buffalo metro area) were supposed to get a pounding. High winds, power outages, the whole deal. But as I stayed awake late last night waiting for the inevitable so I could hook my generator up to what was sure to be an overflowing sump with a powerless pump, nothing happened. We had several storms this summer that were far worse. On either side of us (Rochester NY, and Toronto ONT) there was damage, power outages, etc. we somehow lucked out. No ones lights so much as flickered. My garbage cans didn't shift an inch.

Very fortunate for us.

Does anybody know of any libraries open and uncrowded in south Manhattan
Marty: The future, it's where you're going? Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.

Pretty much the going joke around town, except with an added twist of strange irony in that everyone feels like "oh once again Buffalo doesn't get any media love, but NYC is the center of attention".

lemme tell you, readinghis twitter feed yesterday, I think the dude can get past the Wall street thing.
I, personally, am ready for a good old fashioned NJ street fight between Booker & christie.
Jesus that guy watches his neighbors wall get ripped off and yet he keeps filming, apparently not aware the exact thing could happen to him.
Well this is a new thing to most people up there. It's why this storm is so dangerous, the north east isn't prepared for a hurricane and its related disturbances.

Better acting.
Neighborhood has torrential rains and flooding.
House burns down.

This newly formed lake was once LaGuardia Airport.

This was once an underground parking lot, notice the "12' clearance" sign:
East Village:
There's a subreddit over at Reddit, /r/Sandy, that has more.
The dude holding a beer is a nice touch. I'd need a drink or two to deal with my town going through that, too.
